Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is looking to become the first driver since Michael Schumacher to win five consecutive world titles, but last year’s runner up, McLaren’s Lando Norris, will be desperate to go one better. Many eyes will also be on the Ferrari paddock, where seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton makes his debut for the prancing horse. Read on to find out how to watch F1 live streams from anywhere in 2025, from the opening race in Australia all the way through to the season closing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December. What is F1? Formula 1 (or F1 for short) is the glamorous pinnacle of motorsport, in which many of the best drivers on the planet – including superstars like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen – race single-seat, open-wheel cars in a bid to become F1 world champion. There are 24 races over the course of an F1 season, taking in locations from North America to Australia. If you're traveling abroad, use NordVPN (you can currently save over 70%) to tap into your usual live motorsports coverage from anywhere. It's the best VPN we've used and tops the podium when it comes to streaming. Are there any free F1 live streams? That depends on where you live.

How to watch F1 live streams in the U.S. (Image credit: Shutterstock) All F1 races this season will be available to watch on Disney-owned services ESPN, ESPN2, ABC or ESPN Plus. ESPN is the place to watch the majority of F1 races in the States. Some races appear on ESPN2 and ABC. Cord-cutters can livestream ESPN and ABC via Sling TV, Fubo, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV. We believe Sling (from $40/month) is the best choice for F1 fanatics as it provides great-value live coverage for viewers who plan to watch Formula 1 in 2025 and beyond. ESPN Plus – which will give you access to some of the races – is available for $11.99 a month or $119.99 a year. You can also bag ESPN Plus as part of the Disney Plus/Hulu/ESPN bundle. That will set you back $16.99 per month (Basic) or $24.99 (Premium) depending on whether you want ads on Disney Plus and Hulu. Remember: if you are usually based in the U.S. but are out of the country, you can watch the services you already subscribe to with our recommended VPN. Cut the cord with Sling TV. You'll want Sling Blue to watch ABC (selected regions) or Sling Orange to watch ESPN. Or combine them both for $55/month. New users typically save 50% on their first month. PREFERRED PARTNER How to watch F1 live streams in the U.K. (Image credit: Shutterstock) Sky Sports has the rights to every race weekend across the season and broadcasts F1 live streams in up to 4K. Sky Sports packages including the F1 channel start from £22/month on top of a regular Sky TV subscription. Now Sports offers a cheaper route to F1 streams since it provides instant access to 12 Sky Sports channels, on-demand content and highlights for £34.99/month (currently available for £26/month). If you just want to watch a single race, you can also get a Day Membership for £14.99. The downside? Live streams are not currently available in 4K. Remember, if you are traveling abroad, you could subscribe to NordVPN and use it to unblock your usual free F1 stream and watch it as if you were back home. How to watch extended F1 highlights for free (Image: © Peter Fox/Getty Images) Channel 4 provides full extended highlights of each race in the form of a 2.5-hour show with ad breaks. It's typically available on-demand a few hours after the chequered flag. Channel 4's streaming service is free to U.K. TV Licence holders, and you can sign up with your email address and postcode. Channel 4 will also broadcast free live coverage of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July. While Channel 4 is geo-blocked outside the U.K., Brits can always use NordVPN to access their usual F1 highlights and online live TV providers from anywhere around the world. Lastly, you'll find plenty of free F1 highlights on the official Formula 1 YouTube channel, though nothing approaching a full race. How to watch F1 online in Canada All practice sessions, qualifying and races are broadcast in English on TSN, and if you receive the network through your cable or satellite provider, you can use TSN Go by signing in with your TV service credentials. If you’ve ditched the cord you’ll want to check out TSN Plus, which costs $8.00/month or $80.00/year. The TSN app will allow you to live stream F1 races from your phone, streaming box or supported device.
